Journeys Life standed on the sea is very grueling and risky. Only a few are able to face the challenging tasks of such a situation using their wits and persistence. In the book Life Of Pi and the film The Odyssey‚ the journeys of the main characters are surprisingly parallel‚ considering the works were written over 20 centuries apart. Both of their journeys contain stages similar to the archetypal hero journey‚ including the Separation/Departure‚ Initiation and The Return. Although both Pi and Odysseus

In this quote‚ the author is talking about being creative and how creativity helps people get through life. The thing that got Pi through his journey was Richard Parker. Pi’s innocent self could not have made it through being stranded without his animalistic side. The “creativity” being mentioned is about how Pi created Richard Parker in order to survive. Without it‚ Pi would either not physically make it or mentally break down without a scapegoat for his conscious. The quote foreshadows the stories

The first time I saw the book name “A Clockwork Orange”‚ I think it is weird. What is “clockwork orange”? Clockwork is a structure of a machine while orange is a fruit. This awkward combination makes no sense to me. And that’s just what the author was trying to express‚ the feeling of awkward‚ queer and bizarre.

The Life of Pi- Favorite Quote While I was reading the Life of Pi‚ I ran into a quote that caught my attention‚ and I feel as if it sums up the emotion behind the struggle Pi encountered. While he was on the boat‚ Pi states‚ "My face set to a grim and determined expression. I speak in all modesty as I say this‚ but I discovered at that moment that I have a fierce will to live. It’s not something evident‚ in my experience. Some of us give up on life with only a resigned sigh. Others fight a little
